“Standing ovations and extended applause - the premiere of Le Poids des Éponges was a true success.”

“Choreographer Guilherme Botelho creates wonderful and comical images... he has a company of excellent dancers, who are also
convincing actors.”

KOLNER (Cologne) EXPRESS
Brazilian born choreographer Guilherme Botelho presents his internationally acclaimed Swiss company with an entertaining performance of visually thrilling dance theatre.

Le Poids des Éponges opens a colourful window into the topsy-turvy world of a chaotic family household, mirroring our everyday experiences, joys, and battles, creating both comic and poignant snapshots of life.

With a stunning soundtrack, ranging from Shostakovich, Brazilian beats, and a haunting Scarlatti piano score, this high-energy performance balances off-the-wall humour with tender moments of touching beauty. A magnificent climax sees the heavens open with a gulf of water plunging to the stage, as the whole company don their bathing suits and dive in for the most surreal swimming race ever seen!

Join Alias for an illuminating experience of highly entertaining and visually thrilling dance theatre.
